When I first got back into the gym, post-covid, out-of-shape, I loved the concept of Orangetheory…read moreand was excited to try it. However, my body was not prepared for the intensity of the workouts. The treadmill running was particularly tough on an old foot injury. The instructors absolutely offered modifications to ease my foot woes, but my competitive nature didn't want to participate if I couldn't go all out. Fast forward 2 years later, I'm in much better shape physically and I decided to give it another go. The biggest challenge for me this time wasn't the workout itself, but rather to acknowledge my own limitations, resist my competitive nature, & heed alternatives to running - like walking on an incline OR using the strider. I enjoyed Orangetheory so much more this go-around, it's truly a great full body workout. I personally love the built-in variety, since you will always rotate between rowing, strength and treadmill work. If your goal is to maximize your one-hour at the gym, enjoy a mix of cardio & strength training, and burn a ton of calories, Orangetheory will deliver results.

The team here was incredibly welcoming and supportive the entire time. Zach is definitely my favorite! Huge thanks for making me feel at home during my extended stay.

I started attending this location a few weeks ago, and in my opinion, the overall energy feels…read moredifferent from other studios. Typically, when you're considering joining, you're offered a free introductory class. My first interaction with the front desk was positive, but after that, my experience gradually declined. During my first class, Elena was the instructor. Another new member and I were both first-timers and had stations right next to each other. Elena checked on the other participant multiple times throughout the class but only checked on me at the very end. It felt odd, but I initially brushed it off. On another occasion, I arrived about six minutes late due to rushing. A staff member informed me of the five-minute late policy but still allowed me to join the class, which I appreciated. Parking at this location is also extremely limited, which adds to the overall frustration. One day I forgot my heart rate monitor. Zach and another front desk staff member were present when I asked about it. The other staff member was understanding, but Zach insisted on charging the $10 fee. I've been to another Orangetheory location where a member forgot theirs and was not charged, so the inconsistency stood out to me. This past Thursday, after attending for a couple of weeks, I had an instructor (I believe her name was Beth) who was the first person to actually correct my rowing form and give me helpful pointers. That was appreciated, but it made me realize how little guidance I had received prior. Overall, the experience has left me feeling uncomfortable. As a Black woman, I don't feel particularly welcomed or supported at this location. When I attended Orangetheory in Frontenac, the experience was completely different the energy, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe felt inclusive and encouraging. Although I live very close to the CWE location, I'm strongly considering switching to the Frontenac studio. I love working out, but I don't appreciate or feel okay with how this location has made me feel.

I cancelled my membership 3 months before my year was up to ensure it cancelled w/in a year and I did not have to wait for another year to cancel. Even though I cancelled w/in that time frame I still was required to pay this fee again which is $62. The gym is overcrowded, most people at the front desk barely say a word to you and it's not a very welcoming gym.

But after a few more I was seeing improvements in both my strength and cardio. What's great is that June will push you past what you THINK your limit was, and even though I'm dying towards the end, is still super supportive. June is a great trainer and goes above and beyond what is required of a personal trainer, he takes a genuine interest in your eating habits and exercise habits outside the gym in order to best maximize your results and helps you reach your goal. Additionally, the rest of the DFM trainers are great, friendly and easy going. We often crack jokes and make small talk before and after work outs. Overall this team of trainers works well together creating an environment conducive to intimidation free work outs and encouraging, and most importantly, getting the results I want.

I really enjoy the ease of the location and the atmosphere, yet at times it can get pretty crowded due to the small space. I have been using DFM since I get my membership at Club, and working with my trainer Dino the entire time. I was very skeptical of using a trainer, as I have always worked out, but have not regretted it for a day!! Jeremy made sure he paired me up with the right trainer for my goals and he did a great job. No matter how badly I want to quit or don't think I can do another set, Dino always encourages me and pushes me to succeed. Dino makes sure I meet the goals I set for myself, but also makes sure I hold myself accountable to holding up my end of the deal by eating well and working out on my own. The trainers at DFM are always positive, friendly and helpful, even if you don't train with them. DFM trainers really make the gym a more enjoyable place to be, thanks for always pushing me harder when I don't think I have anything left to give!
